Blame Society Not The Screen Time Summary

It has become common today to dismiss different perspectives, such as Danah Boyd’s, that teenagers aren’t the ones responsible for themselves constantly being on the internet, but society is the one to blame. Many people assume that teenagers have put themselves in the position of being addicted to the internet, yet Danah Boyd complains in her article, “Blame Society, Not the Screen Time”, that, “We put unprecedented demands on our kids, maxing them out with structured activities, homework and heavy expectations.” In making this comment, Danah Boyd argues that adults continuously add stress and pressure to teenagers, which then results in teenagers resorting to the internet as a way of socializing. For many, the internet is simply an escape.

Teens’ screen time should be limited, not by a strict rule enforced by their parents, but by being taught guidelines as to how long and when are the appropriate times to use the devices. In his article, Don’t Limit Your Teen’s Screen Time, Chris Bergman argues that if technology is unrestricted, social events and time without supervision aren’t “an opportunity for… kids to binge on tech because they couldn't otherwise” (1). What Bergman is saying is the more you can not have something, the more you will want it, so by not enforcing strict rules about technology, parents allow their children to take social opportunities as a time to interact with others, rather than a time to sneak in more screen time. Although keeping a lenient rule over one’s

Is our society capable of overcoming racism? In Harper Lee’s famous book, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, it shows how racism is often more powerful than reason and intelligence. Racism is a disliking, or unjust behavior deriving from unfounded opinions directed to against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Also known as, prejudice, discrimination, and antagonism. Specifically, color should not matter, however, racism was and still is malevolent and affects people’s lives today, including, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, Tom Robinson, who demonstrates the theme of the story, and melancholy plays the victim.

In the article entitled “Screen Addiction Is Taking a Toll on Children” Jane E. Brody discusses how the youth is facing a problematic issues with electronic media causing them to become unhealthy and hindering their normal development. First, Brody points outs that a great deal of electronic media usage can conflict with children’s schoolwork. The writer also indicates that adolescents who spend a great deal of their time playing video games tend to block out the outside world and become anti-social. In addition, she states that “young children under the age of two should not be exposed to electronic media because a child’s brain develops rapidly during the first years”. The author also indicates that young children learn more efficiently by

Among the various reasons for parents to advocate limited screen time is for the best

Trends in anesthesia practice have evolved over the past 20 years. In 2007, the most frequent types of neurosurgical procedures were spinal fusion, endovascular spinal procedures, craniotomies for tumor pathology; craniotomies not associated with tumor pathology, and intracranial endovascular procedures (Alacon, Larios, & Bergese, 2015). Like other areas of medicine, neurosurgery is also moving towards minimally invasive procedures, and there is current evidence of a 32% growth in intracranial endovascular procedures in 2013 (Alacon et al., 2015).

In the world today, the predominant force in teen’s lives is the use of their mobile devices, computers, and other forms of electronics. As the use of technology increases, concerns are growing about the amount of screen time teens should be exposed to, and if the use of technology can affect a teen’s brain development. The American Academy of Pediatrics, or the AAP, is considering raising the two hour screen time limit to four hours because of the growing use of electronics in our day and age. However, because teens’ brains develop differently than adults, parts of their brains are not mature enough. Some parts, such as the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for thinking ahead and sizing up risk and reward, are not fully developed. Therefore, the use of technology can greatly impact a growing teen’s brain, and influence from mobile devices or electronics can have both a positive or negative effect on their brain. As a result, some people believe that the screen time limit shouldn’t be raised, however others believe the AAP should raise its standards. In the texts, “What’s Going on In Your Brain?” by Linda Bernstein, “Growing Up Digital” by Matt Richtel; “Attached to Technology and Paying the Price” by Matt Richtel, “AAP Policy Statement: ‘Children, Adolescents, and the Media’”, it has been delineated that the use of technology can have a negative influence on growing teens. Therefore, the AAP should not raise its recommended daily entertainment screen time from

The author states that studies show that too much screen time leads to "weak executive fucntion, lower test scores, and obesity in children," but then turns around and says that that study is flawed. At one point in the passage the author states that there has been an arguement of "screen time versus green time. "They blame television and video games for children not playing outdoors in the fresh air. This falsely assumes that if children weren't in front of screens, they would be outside exercising. It overlooks important factors like child supervision, safety, access to outdoor green spaces, and even weather." Then the author switches tune and explains why screen timie is good for children because it helps the child learn earlier and it helps the child learn social contact skills earlier as well. To me, screen time does in fact help children learn more at an earlier age, from personal experience, I watched my cousins start learning how to spell, read, and do math by the time he was three years old by using online learning games such as ABCMouse.com. "In 2015, the American Academy of Pediatrics changed their guidlines to where parents and children should play video games together to increase social contact

Screen time for children is helpful and it also can be harmful. Screen time could hurt the children's developmental skills if watched for long periods of time. As said in the first passage if watched for an average of 7.5 hours per day it can cause kids to zone out and confuse their body clocks. Screen time can aslo disrupt sleep and possibly cause depression as well as obesity. Childred should have a balance of screen play. In the second passage it shows that Researchers found that when kids watched television with parents, it reduced anger and fear and increased learning. The second passage also states that visual learners gain far more from watching an education video of a process than they would just reading about it. From my opinion,

It is said that too much of something can in fact result in a bad situation. It is also said that Internet addiction can be just as harmful to teenager’s brains as cocaine. Cocaine, alcohol, and cannabis as well as internet addiction disrupt nerve wiring in the brains of teens. This addiction is classified as an impulse control disorder or out-of-control internet use. IAD diagnosed adolescents addicted to the internet and found evidence of disruption to “white matter’ nerve fibers connecting vital parts of the brain involved in emotions, decision-making, and self-control. Other than the scientific evidence, it’s said to “Impair their quality of life.”(Leon Watson) Either substance or internet addictions, most teens have faced these challenges. (Internet addiction can be as harmful to teenager’s brains as cocaine and

Today’s teens mental and physical health has declined in recent years due to internet use. A study conducted by Pew Research Center in 2015 found that 92% of teens go online daily and 24% of them almost constantly. This amount of internet usage results

“Get off the telephone it’ll melt your brain,” Mom says. If only you could prove her wrong. It may seem like a miracle, but scientists have backed up with evidence that video games are beneficial for you and now you have evidence to prove it. In addition, since the prefrontal cortex hasn’t been fully developed during the child and adolescent years, it would be wiser if we let children and adolescents make decisions online rather than in real life. Making decisions in real life could lead to potential danger and acts they could regret later on. Also, making decisions in game simulates what making decisions in real life will be like. The AAP should raise the screen time recommendation to four hours for kids and teens because it can improve different regions of social and physical skills.

One reason parents should not put limits and restrictions on their child's screen time is that having restrictions on screen time will just make the screens more appealing than they already are. Having restrictions or time limits on technology will just make the child want to stay up later than usual to sneak onto their screens. This is important because students will get less sleep than they would need to get through the school day. If kids didn’t have restrictions or time limits on their screens, they might be less tempted to be on their screens late at night. The children will be tired all day and want to fall asleep in their classes if they are up all night playing with their devices. Putting restrictions on our screen time makes our screens or technology more interesting and we want to be on them more.

Excessive video game playing has been a problem with today’s youth they have had more influences over the youth than ever before. That brings to my attention a question, how do video games affect the youth of our society? Excessive video game playing, especially violent video games, can lead to youth violence, a decrease in academic success and many other negative things. I realize that some parents believe that they can be good for children, I agree but I also disagree in some cases. Some parents allow their children to play video games to keep a social life and to learn how to use strategies. This is true in some cases but not in all cases. For instance, other children that play video games alone and are in their rooms constantly can
